What is the Franchise handyman Industry Overview So Far?

A market report released in 2023, measured by revenue, states that the Australian tradesperson and handyperson industry is valued at around  $1.2bn

Franchising in Australia equates to $203 billion of the nation’s GDP, representing approximately 1,307 businesses with over 600,000 employees.

Franchising is the only Australian industry sector regulated by a Code of Conduct, administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Additionally, franchising provides substantial security.

What factors affect growth of the Tradesman and Handyman Franchises industry in Australia?

  • The primary factors positively affecting this industry are medium revenue volatility and capital expenditure on private dwellings.
  • An increasing number of Australians who lack the expertise or time to perform tasks around the home or workplace;
  •  A consistent rise in the number of commercial properties and households requiring maintenance;
  •  Homeowners increasing capital expenditure in their homes, whether by necessity or through decisions to renovate and perform maintenance work.

Most Australians aspire to two things: to own their home and to be their own boss. These visions play an integral part in Australian society, with housing acting as a significant economic indicator, and small business offering opportunities for increased personal wealth and employment.

Starting a small business independently is challenging and can be risky, However, those motivated to establish their own business should aim to mitigate and dramatically reduce the risks by considering franchising opportunities.
